“The Setup” Underground Comedy Show | SF

Every Thursday

The Setup is an underground stand-up comedy show in the heart of San Francisco. This venue used to be the green room for the legendary Blackhawk jazz venue where Miles Davis used to play. Now, it’s a comedy show that features established comedians from around the country as well as local up-and-coming stars.

“The Setup” Underground Comedy Show
Every Thursday, Fridays & Saturdays | 8 pm
The Beer Basement, 222 Hyde Street, San Francisco
$5 online, use the discount code FUNCHEAP. Otherwise, it’s $15.

This features established comedians from around the country as well as local up-and-coming stars. San Francisco is known for indulging and incubating the absurd whims, oddities, and genius of the freaks who call it home. Think Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, Jefferson Airplane.

The show always ends before 10 pm so there is plenty of time to watch the show, do something afterwards, and then catch BART or MUNI. The show starts at 8 pm. Come early for great seats because the venue fills up quickly.
